Hauz Khas : Delhi's Hidden Necropolis

Hauz Khas is often remembered for its magnificent reservoir and medieval madrasa, yet the landscape surrounding it preserves an extraordinary collection of funerary monuments that reveal another side of Delhi's history.

This walk journeys through Delhi's hidden necropolis, tracing a remarkable network of tombs and funerary structures scattered across the landscape where each structure raises questions about memory, identity and architectural expression.

The experience culminates at the Hauz Khas Complex, where the tomb of Firuz Shah Tughlaq stands beside a medieval madrasa and reservoir. Through architecture, symbolism and storytelling, the walk explores how a landscape of the dead became part of a living and constantly changing city and why Hauz Khas is often compared to medieval Baghdad.
